Cinderella Dreams starts Friday

The Midlothian Junior Women’s Club, in partnership with Puritan Cleaners and 103.7 The River, will begin its 2013 Cinderella Dreams Project on Feb. 1. The annual program provides new or slightly used prom dresses, shoes and accessories and new makeup to high school girls for a suggested $5 donation.

Donations of items may be made at all Puritan Cleaner locations and all YMCA branches. Any of the 300 girls who were helped last year are encouraged to consider donating their dresses back to the project.

Collection of dresses and other items will continue through Feb. 28. The project’s store in Westchester Commons (between Regal Cinemas and Petco) will be open on March 15, 4:30-9:30 p.m.; March 16, 9 a.m.-noon; and March 23, 9 a.m.-noon.
